More than 16 years after BP's Deepwater Horizon disaster, marine life has not recovered 16 years after one of the deadliest oil spills in history - BP's Deepwater Horizon - there is measurable evidence that wildlife is in serious decline and not recovering in the Gulf of Mexico where the disaster occurred. Through trawling, sound waves and DNA analysis, researchers showed persistent declines of around 60 per cent in some species in the years since. From the CBC News-2026-10-21:8:5:1
